Mi estadía fue corta. Sin embargo fue poco tranquila. Se escuchaba en mi habitacion todos los ruidos externos. Por otro lado, el lugar es hermoso.

Lovely historical hotel easily walkable to all the tourist areas and dining options in Mount Dora. Very nice veranda with views of the lake and beyond to enjoy a morning coffee.
Very relaxing atmosphere within the hotel with all the staff very helpful and informative of the facilities and local area.
